  • Shoulder Joint Replacement

    Shoulder Joint Replacement

    Shoulder joint replacement is a surgical procedure used to relieve pain and restore function in patients with severe shoulder arthritis or joint damage. The shoulder is a ball-and-socket joint formed by the humeral head (upper arm bone) and the glenoid (socket of the shoulder blade).

  • Reverse Total Shoulder Replacement

    Reverse Total Shoulder Replacement

    Reverse total shoulder replacement is an advanced surgical procedure designed for patients with severe shoulder arthritis combined with a massive rotator cuff tear, a condition known as rotator cuff tear arthropathy.

  • Rotator Cuff Repair

    Rotator Cuff Repair

    Rotator cuff repair is a surgical procedure used to treat tears in the rotator cuff, a group of tendons in the shoulder that provide stability and enable a wide range of motion.

  • Shoulder Stabilization

    Shoulder Stabilization

    Shoulder stabilization is a surgical procedure used to treat chronic shoulder instability and prevent repeated dislocations of the shoulder joint. Shoulder instability occurs when the head of the humerus (ball) repeatedly slips out of the glenoid (socket), either partially (subluxation) or completely (dislocation).

  • Shoulder Arthroscopy

    Shoulder Arthroscopy

    Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat a wide range of shoulder conditions. It is performed using a small, pencil-sized camera called an arthroscope, which allows the surgeon to view the inside of the shoulder joint on a monitor in real time.

  • Latarjet Procedure

    Latarjet Procedure

    The Latarjet procedure is a surgical treatment for recurrent shoulder instability, especially in patients with significant bone loss from the socket (glenoid) or a bony Bankart lesion. Shoulder instability occurs when the humeral head (ball) repeatedly slips out of the glenoid (socket), often due to trauma or repeated dislocations.

  • Remplissage

    Remplissage

    The remplissage procedure is a minimally invasive arthroscopic shoulder surgery used to treat recurrent anterior shoulder instability associated with a Hill-Sachs lesion. A Hill-Sachs lesion is a compression fracture or defect in the humeral head (ball of the shoulder) that occurs when the shoulder repeatedly dislocates.
